Most people today have no idea what arcades were like. It's sad.


Love this documentary and everything. Sucks your wife couldn't handle it. This is HOW you experience an arcade. With the original controls and sounds around you. I miss those days so much. Most people will never know it. But it makes me want to take a vacation to an arcade.

The documentary is bitter sweet.

This movie is an example of do NOT MARRY someone that doesn't get it!

Keep going Richie!!!

When you get more joy from a joystick than sticking your wife, then you have a gaming problem. He made the right decision.

Apparently They got divorced anyways.

I grew up in arcades. I basically lived in them from about 1976 to 1983. Then my balls dropped and I become more interested in music and tiddies. I "accidentally" got back into video games after finishing college and I still play them at home. But the last time I went to an arcade, a good one packed wall to wall with classics, probably in the mid 1990s... it was fun for about 5 minutes. After that I was bored shitless.
